2007 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I love this 4th generation Explorer the most out of all of them. The interior and exterior is designed to my liking as well as the ride and handling. I was concerned the vehicle looks narrow, but it's very spacious and "wide-looking" once you get inside. The reliability is good until you reach a certain mileage range (100-120k) where a lot of age related repairs come to play. My only issues that are not typical is the LED radio display going out and the power running boards failing. But, after they are fixed, you are good to go another 100k miles. I would recommend this generation for someone in the market for a used car. Oh, and gas is better than expected. Don't be fooled by low mileage!

2007 Ford Explorer XLT 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 6A)
I have a 2007 Explorer that I bought new in late 2006. It worked flawlessly until about september of last year. By then it started having transmission problems so severe that it has been out of the shop for only about a month in the last eight.
About two weeks ago I got it back and since then the battery died and now a white smoke is coming out of the engine, so I guess on Monday it will be back to the shop again.
The problems have been so severe that I haven't been able to repair a minor scratch to put it up for sale. It simply never works long enough between shop visits to repair the scratch!
This is my second Ford (after a 2007 Mustang) and I will never buy another again!!!

2007 Ford Explorer XLT 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Second Explorer we have owned, first was a 2004 Explorer Police edition ( police engine, was retired from a small town P.D. fleet). Was so Impressed with first one, had to get a second one. This one isn't a police package, but I don't mind one bit. Perfect vehicle for my small family, has a plug in the back for my daughter (4 yrs old) to plug in her portable DVD player, plus the air vents she don't have to wait for the heat/air.Took 3 trips to Texas-Pa in the 04,(1735 miles one way) and was a great ride. This one is super smooth, rides great on highway, fuel mileage goes over 19 mpg longer we drive on highway, so might make it over 22 by Texas. lots of room in the back for all my wife's luggage.

2007 Ford Explorer XLT 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Owned this truck for almost a year now, and am overall very impressed. The ride is amazing for an SUV this size, the power for the v6 is decent, plenty of power for everyday driving or on the highway. The ride is very smooth even on cruise control at 80-85. The fuel economy for most people's driving habits is about 15 around town and 19-20 highway. If you drive fuel consciously, I am able to get 17 around town and 22 highway. Very roomy, third row can fit two grown adults with ease. Plenty of cargo space, great for towing, better than average stock sound system. Good looking truck inside and out. I highly recommend this truck!

2007 Ford Explorer XLT 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Second Explorer I've owned and by far the better of the two. Had an 2004 v-8 SSV (special services vehicle) police package that we bought used. Loved the big police interceptor, but the 2007 V- 6 feels just as strong. love the power pedal adjuster ( so all the wife has to do is press the button and move the pedals instead of moving my seat and forgetting to put it back) love where they moved the 4wd buttons instead of where they were by the radio and I love the positioning of the gear shifter. Overall A+++ job Ford.

Not impressed. Didn't like it after the first month and I was stuck in a lease. When is below 40 deg. the ESC actives on turns even when the roads are dry. Especially frustrating while trying to accelerate on a cloverleaf on-ramp on to highway. The 9V power supply is in a bad spot, near the center console. Radar and GPS power cords have to stretch from the console to the dash. No Ash tray/trash. Eddie Bauer edition doesn't come with steering wheel audio controls

I couldn't be happier with this truck. We just turned in our Mercedes R-class and bought this '07 leftover. It rides better than the Mercedes by a long shot and it's a heck of lot more fun to drive. It has everything we wanted including Nav and RES. I'm looking forward to many many years of driving this thing.

Five Maryland Commercial Fishermen Plead Guilty to Illegally Overfishing Striped Bass
Estimated Market Value of Striped Bass Involved in the Illegal Transactions is at Least
"Fishing limits in the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River are designed to protect the healthy sustainable population of striped bass and ensure a viable fishery up and down the eastern seaboard. Commercial fishermen who knowingly conceal their illegal activities, and who traffic in illegally harvested rockfish are undercutting an honest market and risking the continuation of the species," said
"Most rockfish return from the Atlantic Ocean to the freshwater of the Chesapeake Bay to spawn," said
According to their plea agreements,
According to their statements of fact, from 2003 to 2007, Crowder, Dean, Quade, Hallock and Collins, with the help and assistance of a
By under-reporting the weight of fish harvested, and over-reporting the number of fish taken, the records would make it appear that the defendants had failed to reach the maximum poundage quota for the year, but had nonetheless run out of tags. As a result, the state would issue additional tags that could be used by the defendants allowing them to catch striped bass above their maximum poundage quota amount, yet still have tags to place on those fish and fish that were never reported to
According to their plea agreements, Quade and Hallock further concealed the striped bass over-harvesting and under-reporting by having seafood wholesalers provide false receipts for their striped bass sales, claiming that the sales involved different species of fish.
Crowder, Dean, Quade, Hallock and Collins sold their illegal catch knowing that the fish would be sold to retail and wholesellers in other states. According to their plea agreements, the estimated fair market value of the fish involved in the illegal transactions for Crowder is
"This concerted federal and state investigation sheds light on a pattern of abuse that completely undermines the states' ability to manage and set quotas for striped bass," said Acting Special Agent in Charge Sal Amato of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Northeast Region. "Violations of fishing laws rob future generations of this important Chesapeake Bay resource."
"The Maryland Department of Natural Resources applauds and was happy to support these enforcement actions to preserve and protect our striped bass resource," said DNR Secretary
"This is a great example of a cooperative law enforcement initiative to protect our natural resources," said Commissioner

Today's guilty pleas are the result of the investigation by an interstate task force formed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Maryland Natural Resources Police and the Virginia Marine Police, Special Investigative Unit in 2003. The task force conducted undercover purchases and sales of striped bass in 2003, engaged in covert observation of commercial fishing operations in the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River area, and conducted detailed analysis of area striped bass catch reporting and commercial business sales records from 2003 through 2007. The investigation is continuing, and charges against others are possible.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney

Sun Princess Cruise Review by Regdab719: Great family holiday with teenagers.

Compare Prices on Sun Princess South Pacific Cruises
Great family holiday with teenagers.
We started with a few days on the Gold Coast to do the theme parks to make the trip more exciting for the teenagers and ended up that the best part was the cruise!
We found the ship easy to navigate from day 1. We had three rooms - travelling with the teenagers in the inside cabin (18, 16 & 14 yr old boys) and balcony room for us and also the grandparents. All very convenient.
We had great start with our bags already being at our rooms when we arrived at our cabins. We settled in and then headed to Horizon Court for lunch. We didn't know what to expect but the food was better than expected and there was plenty of it and the staff where fantastic to help us get settled in before we even sailed.
The view from the top when leaving Brisbane was great. It was hot and summery as expected and we enjoyed with a cold drink to set the mood. Our balcony room (and the boys room) was clean and always kept tidy by our cabin steward with clean sheets and towels always being More
refreshed. The room was more that adequate and the balcony although great for two people was able to fit five - when standing.
The dining room was definitely the best when it came to great food. Every night was a different menu and always fresh and tasty food, we didn't experience a bad meal there. Our waiters where always pleasant and happy to see us and even hear about our day. They would know what we liked to drink and would recommend the meals each night.
The teen club was great for our 16 yr old and he has been able to make friends with others from around Australia. We hardly ever saw him!
The pizza restaurant was excellent and we did try the steakhouse one night which did not disappoint.
Overall as our first cruise experience we thoroughly enjoyed it and would not hesitate to do another cruise in the near future - our children didn't want to get off this cruise. Less

Good food near the Four Points Huntsville Airport location?
- 4 Comments
- Follow
I won't have a rental car so, I'm looking for places close to the Four Points hotel. I don't have a problem walking two miles or more if easy public transport isn't available.
Where are the good breakfast and dinner places? From reading the posts I have found, it seems like a lot of recommendations are pretty far away from the general HSV airport area. I would like a good hearty breakfast since my lunch time dining options will be unknown and could be some sort of fast food chain place. I'm wide open to dinner suggestions.
Are any of the good German places near my hotel? I'm also looking for some good authentic BBQ. I also need one Sunday evening recommendation (arrive on the 4:40PM flight).
Thanks in Advance!
p.s. What's the beer situation like in Alabama? I've heard Alabama has some restrictive beer laws. Is it a wet/dry county situation like other parts of the South? Do people stock up in Tennessee and Mississippi when they travel?
I had the misfortune of eating at the Ruby Tuesday outside of HSV on I565. Service was very slow though the waiter was pretty good. It appeared like the server was was doing so many things that they must have had no shows for work on the floor. This left us with long periods of no service, no drinks, etc. The food was very slow to arrive. The Salmon was way over cooked and dry. The long grain white rice was undercooked and hard, though it was warm.
I won't be back.
Ruby Tuesday
1685 S Pleasant Valley Rd, Winchester, VA 226010 -
I had the sampler plate at this place and it was delicious. The Turkey had a nice smoke flavor which was very nice though it was a little too salty for my tastes. The Beef and Pork was very good too. The coleslaw was a little weird since I was expecting the typical creamy sweet slaw however, this was a little different being pure slaw with a little something like parsley in it with a sweet vinegar sauce. The coleslaw wasn't my thing but it was done well. The beans and potato salad ere good but, average.
Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and I will be back.

1715 6th Ave SE, Decatur, AL 356010 -
I didn't see this when you first posted. If you're back in the area any time soon, I'd recommend getting a rental car if you can. There's not a whole lot close to the airport and taxis from the airport area are a bit expensive, if I remember correctly.
Which BBQ place did you pick?
re: Ima Wurdibitsch
It was the Bob Gibson BBQ place on the main drive through Decatur. I caught a ride with another traveler who had a rental car. It was good enough to warrant another trip next time I'm at HSV.

The minutes of the previous

IV. Old Business
V. New Business
A. Updates from Graduate
Council, Presidential Staff Meetings, Academic Board, Provost, and other.
1. Sleep - The Citadel is
getting concerned about the sleep issue once again. A driving force is the QEP,
which calls for a report to SACS in 2009. In the QEP The Citadel said the
amount of sleep cadets report getting would go up by an hour from 2004 to 2009.
So far it hasn't changed much (slightly up one year, down the next). John
Carter of the Physical Effectiveness Council (part of the Values/Respect Task
Force) is in charge of a committee which will study how to change the 24-hour
schedule so as to increase sleep.
2. Box Lunches - The Citadel
is a bit concerned about the number of lunchtime activities which involve box
lunches. The same committee will study ways to reduce box lunches and/or make
lunch preparation more efficient. (A
problem is that we are spending too much money preparing multiple lunches, for
example, preparing a Mess Hall family style lunch for 1900 cadets, and then
having 300 or 400 out for box lunches.) We may go to cafeteria style lunches on
MWF, retaining family style on TR (drill and practice parade days). Also,
Thursday night 6:45 to 7:45 will become available for academic clubs.
The idea is these changes (sleep/box
lunches) will be in place for the 2008-2009 academic year.
Graduate Council
The Citadel will institute
rules so only graduate students who have really met all admission standards will
be labeled as "degree seeking". Until now students could be so labeled while
still in the process of providing documentation of meeting all admission
requirements. Those students who are not fully admitted will be listed as
non-degree seeking. (For those students this move has implications for
financial aid, employers paying for courses, etc.) We had to do this to be more
accurate in the information we provide SACS, CHE, and other bodies.
Presidential Staff Meetings
1. The Citadel will have a Leadership Symposium
during Corps Week. On the afternoon of Thursday, 13 March there will be some
panel discussions. The administration would like faculty to take students to
these discussions in lieu of classes (for appropriate subjects).
Academic Board
1. The Citadel is in the process of hiring an
Associate Provost for Planning, Assessment, and Evaluation.
2. The administration is looking at ways to
change the summer school schedule so as to attract more students. In
particular, we may have more third period classes (
3. The Academic Board passed by a 13-5 vote a
resolution made by Al Finch which addressed the sleep issue. The primary aspect
is that cadets be in their rooms 2330 to 0630 with lights out.
1. The Citadel has returned to using paper forms
for Student Evaluation of Instruction, and we will receive the original (not
transcribed) comments. When we have our new information technology system in
place The Citadel may try a 2-semester experiment in doing online evaluations,
but with a more-detailed approach.
2. It is impractical for The Citadel to abandon
keeping attendance records on computer. One solution to allowing faculty to
maintain official records is that at midterm faculty members warn students who
are in danger of failing due to excessive absences. By fall semester of 2009
The Citadel may be part of a trial with a biometric card which would allow for
automatic taking and tracking of attendance.
B. Tom Horan reports for
the Financial Affairs Committee
Tom Horan presented some
summary facts and figures from the Financial Affairs Committee. He reported
that state funding continues to decline and that no end to the trend is in
sight. We can expect even more financial pressure given the declining overall
economic situation. Current thoughts on some possible contingency actions to
deal with the expected decline in state funding are included in Tom's report
(Appendix A).
C. Resolution on sleep and
cadet 24 hour schedule
The following resolution had been
drafted by Al Finch and was offered by the Chair for consideration:
The Faculty Council respectfully requests the
following action be taken by the Administration effective as soon as possible.
Consistent with the Mood (1980) Lane (1991), and Mace
(1997) Reports, the national data on sleep needs and patterns for young adults,
and the Quality Enhancement Plan (2004) adopted by The Citadel, the following
change will be made to the 24 hour schedule.
From Sunday evenings through Friday mornings cadets will
be required to be in their rooms with the lights out from 2330 until 0630. The
only exception will be made in an emergency situation as declared by the
President of the college. This schedule will provide a 7 hour uninterrupted
period for cadets to sleep. As stated in the QEP, the physical effectiveness of
our cadets will be enhanced. Therefore, they will perform at a higher level
academically and in cadet life.
While we support a full study of the 24 hour schedule,
we do not believe that the schedule change requested above should be delayed
until such a study is conducted as this recommendation is consistent across all
previous studies. These previous studies, national research, and our commitment
to the QEP provide compelling rationale for this change to take place for the
Spring semester beginning in January 2008.
During discussion it was
asked if we are looking at ourselves as in
loco parentis regarding this action. It seems we are. It was asked if this
would apply to all cadets or just first year students addressed by the QEP; the
response was that it would apply to all (freshmen through seniors) with no
exceptions other than an emergency declared by the President. Instances were
cited where this will curtail activities of some students, e.g., seniors who go
to work out at 0530 because there are no crowds on the equipment, ROTC students
who train prior to 0630, and athletes who start practice before 0630. It was
asked if there is any evidence that cadets will actually sleep if confined
during these hours. There is none, but there will be the opportunity for sleep
that is now absent. It was pointed out that our QEP is driving this issue (see
update item above on Sleep).
motion to adopt the resolution passed by a vote of 12 for and 5 against, with 1
D. Position on
compensation for housekeeping and food service employees
The following resolution was
offered by
Poor compensation and lack of benefits for employees
contracted to work in various essential capacities on The Citadel campus are
issues of concern to Citadel faculty members.
Perhaps these issues can be addressed in future contract negotiations,
in light of the institution's Core Values which refer to "the moral obligation
of responsibility for the welfare of others."
During discussion of this
proposed resolution the web page titled, "Vision,
Core Values and Strategic Initiatives 2002-2012" was visited (http://www.citadel.edu/r3/about/values/vision.shtml).
The following excerpt is relevant:
Duty: We emphasize the importance of individual accountability and the
moral obligation of responsibility for the welfare of others. (emphasis
An amendment to the proposed
resolution was offered and accepted. The proposed resolution, as amended, reads
as follows:
Poor compensation and lack of benefits for employees
contracted to work in various essential capacities on The Citadel campus are
issues of concern to Citadel faculty members.
These issues should be addressed in future contract negotiations, in
light of the institution's Core Values which refer to "the moral obligation of
responsibility for the welfare of others."

The following resolution was
offered by DuBose Kapeluck (attending for Terry Mays) relative to the issue of
online courses:
Offering courses online
involves issues of course ownership and quality of education. The development
and implementation of online courses should involve input by the faculty.
A motion to adopt this resolution
passed unanimously.
F. Book Ordering
Betterton described the issue, which is that faculty members do not receive any
feedback as to the outcome of the book order process. In the business school, prior
to each semester we are asked to state what books we will use in the coming
classes, author, ISBN, etc., along with an estimate of the number of students
who will be using these books. We furnish the information and the
administrative person in Business who collects and aggregates this information
sends it on to the book store. But we do not get any feedback as to whether the
books have been ordered, received, how many are in stock, etc. Faculty would
like to know that the Book Store has in fact ordered the correct book in the
correct number, so that the number of books estimated will be available for
their classes. They want to know this so as to prevent beginning the semester
with no textbooks for students or not enough textbooks for students. We want to
learn whether such feedback is also desired by other faculty, outside of
Business. If so, then any process revision could recognize and address the
wider need.
indicated there was not a perceived need in this area. A few cases were
mentioned in which, for example, the incorrect text was in the book store, but
members were not aware of a general problem in this regard. In some cases the
departmental administrative people involved are relied upon to obtain such
information as needed. In other cases faculty members visit the book store
prior to the term's start date to check if their books are there.
VI. Adjournment
There being no other business
to come before the Council, Chair Trautman thanked members for their attendance
and efforts, and adjourned the meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Carl Betterton, Secretary
Appendix A
Financial Affairs Committee report to Faculty Council
State Appropriations: State
appropriations have fallen from 18.7 million dollars to 16.3 million dollars
over the last five years. The proposed budget for the coming year, which the
Governor plans to submit to the General Assembly, would cut another 2 million
dollars from our state appropriations. Colonel Holland has told me that he and
General Rosa are doing everything they can to prevent these new cuts from being
implemented. But while hoping for the best, we must prepare ourselves for the
worst. Since the Financial Affairs Committee is charged with providing input
for developing The Citadel's internal operating budget, we discussed the
possibility of implementing some of the following policies at our October
meeting with Colonel Holland.

Starbucks Corp. stopped adding the surcharge nationwide Nov. 7. The company has nearly 11,000 stores. "We are pleased to be able to now offer our customers alternative sizes of whole bean coffee in all of our U.S. stores, free of any service charge," Starbucks spokesman Alan Hilowitz said in a statement. Customers were largely ignorant of the extra charge for smaller bags. "They don't charge you a fee when you buy half a pound of bologna at the supermarket," said Frank Kidd, 67, outside a Boston Starbucks with his wife on Sunday. Anthony points out that the agreement to drop the surcharge is not a legal settlement and said the state was in discussions with Starbucks regarding how customer would be compensated. ___ Information from: The Boston Globe,

I saw it today at Meijer.
I saw it today at Meijer.
Dang! This year's the hard part, where so many books come out, school's in full force (mainly grading and projects), and my time to read is as rare as a strong, well-written and interesting EU novel. I'm about 4 chapters into the Order 66 book, so I might not get to the Falcon for a while.
"That's what Sheev said."
already? wow, cool
when it rains it pours
I am halfway thru Order 66, haven't had the time to get to the new Coruscant Nights, and I still have some older Clone Wars novels I wanted to read before I started reading the Legacy line
I advise picking it up now, before the introductory sales price ends
they always sell them for like 30% off when they are brand new
I look forward to reading this!
[FONT=Book Antiqua]You must train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose
great traders: jedigeorge6; jedi master sal; ncbarret; darkjedi5; cookiemonster; phantom-like menace
since i haven't read any of the lagacy series it'll be awhile before i get to Falcon. but i did pick it up already.
Now about 9 chapters in, this has the potential to be one of the best EU is long time. Good flashbacks, decent "current" storyline, and far enough away from the LegaSee-If-We-Can-Completely-Ruin-the-Appeal-of-SW-For-Our-Readers of the Force plot that I think I'll like it. Never had a ship as a main character before, I don't think, and it's working out quite fine.
"That's what Sheev said."
Finished this last week. I thought it ended better then it began. I didn't care for the ship having some kind of personality, like it wanted to be part of the rebellion, although I did like reading about the MF's storied past.
BAD needs: HK-50 torso, right arm and head
YVH-1 head
Trusty traders / buyers/ sellers: Tycho, SK99, DarthChuckMC, minirock(X2), Lman316, Turbowars
Hmm, maybe I'll pick it up in paperback. Anybody know when that'll be coming?
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
"In Brooklyn, a castle, is where dwell I"
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Usually tends to be about 8 months after the hardback is released, so by that factoring it'd be around June '09. But I still (when the books are there) go the check-it-out-baby [from the library] method; that way, if it's a bad book, my sense of financial guilt it lessened.
But, I have one word about reading this novel so far that'll bring joy to your ears, readers:
"That's what Sheev said."
I am liking this book more and more; I'm more than halfway done. Bringing in details from the great Han Solo and Lando Calrissian Adventures stories by Daley and Smith respectively, summarizing the events of the last 50-some years or so of the SW galaxy, as well as the two main storylines running parallel to each other; Luceno's done a great job. Can't wait to finish it soon.
"That's what Sheev said."

Wilstermann stunned Liga del Futbol Profesional Boliviano (LFPB) leaders Bolivar 3-1, allowing The Strongest to grab a share of the lead.
The Strongest defeated Aurora 3-2 to join Bolivar on 15 points at the top of the LFPB table but remain just behind the latter due to goal difference.
Rodrigo Ramallo, Felix Quero and David Mainz scored the goals for Wilstermann as they claimed their first victory in five games, while Bolivar suffered their first loss in six matches.
In Cochabamba on Wednesday, Ramallo put Wilstermann in front in the 12th minute and the hosts doubled their lead just 11 minutes later thanks to Quero's strike.
Just after the hour mark, Mainz struck to make it 3-0 for the hosts and although Rudy Cardozo pulled a goal back with 15 minutes remaining, Bolivar never looked likely to pull off a comeback.
The victory saw Wilstermann rise to fourth in the LFPB standings on 13 points, just two behind Bolivar and The Strongest.
Nacional Potosi sit third on 14 points after a 2-0 win over Blooming.
In La Paz, reigning Apertura champions The Strongest resisted two attempted comebacks from Aurora to triumph by a goal.
Raul Castro made it 2-0 for The Strongest just two minutes after half-time after Pablo Escobar had given the home side the lead in the first half but Aurora hit back in the 55th minute through Vladimir Castellon.
Nelvin Soliz stretched The Strongest's lead to two goals again just after the hour mark but Oscar Diaz's 71st-minute strike for Aurora ensured a nervous finish for the home team.
In other results, Oriente Petrolero won 3-1 over Club Universitario, Real Potosi triumphed 2-1 away to Guabira and Sport Boys defeated San Jose by the same scoreline.

When Betty Friedan identified "the problem that has no name" – the widespread unhappiness that [...]afflicted well-educated homemakers who seemed to have it all in the 1950s and 1960s -- she touched a nerve of recognition among women across America, and touched off a firestorm of debate that was crucial in giving rise to the feminist movement.
Boston University celebrated the anniversary of "The Feminine Mystique" with a panel led by Virginia Sapiro, dean of the BU College of Arts & Sciences. The panel also included Roberta Salper (CAS'59), Caryl Rivers, Eileen Boris (CAS'70), and Susan Reverby (GRS'82).

One person was taken to the hospital after being shot in the leg in Newport News on Tuesday afternoon, police said — the latest shooting in the area in recent months.
Just before 2:15 p.m., officers and medics found a male who looked to be in his mid to late teens who had been wounded in the lower leg lying in a parking lot at Aqueduct Apartments in the 13200 block of Aqueduct Drive, according to Newport News Police Department spokesman Lou Thurston.
Doesn't someone always get shot in Newport News on a Tuesday? Why would this be reported as a news event? It's like the sun rising...it's a sure thing.RegularJoeVat 12:50 AM July 24, 2014
The victim, who was described as being unable or unwilling to provide details to police, was taken to a local hospital, and his injury was not considered to be life threatening, Thurston said. Police do not have a description of any potential suspects.
Lorita Hargrove, who lives in one of the apartments there, said she didn't hear any shots but saw the victim on the ground, followed by the arrival of an ambulance. Initially, she said she thought he was playing around.
She also said that gun violence is commonplace in the area, claiming the life of her friend Vidal Lamont Sills, 41, during a shooting during an argument in the 13000 block of Sojourner Court, which is in the complex, on April 25. Police arrested Joshua Johnson Caffey, of the first block of Colony Road in Newport News, and charged him with first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony in connection to Sills' death, according to Newport News arrest records.
"Every day and every night you hear gunshots, and I'm tired of it," Hargrove said.
Leonard Puese, another resident who was also friends with Sills, saw the teen from a different side of the complex and did not hear shots either.
Sitting outside of one of the apartment buildings, he said part of the problem comes from the youth in the area not having anything to do and getting themselves into trouble instead.
"I'm in the house when it's dark," Puese said.
Not far from the scene of Tuesday's shooting, a 17-year-old boy was shot last week while walking south on Warwick Boulevard near Colony Road with his sister, police said. The 17-year-old heard the shots, turned to his sister and said he had been shot.
The 17-year-old, who was shot in the arm and lower back, received help after the two made their way to a nearby carwash, according to police.

Amid the comforts of empire, the citizens blithely bumble
-- Northern Virginia internet denizen called THE SCREAMING MAN!"Grrrrrrrr!"
-- Bingo, the philosopher dog
By Joe Bageant
Spring has truly arrived when I once again find myself in the garden shed with my dog Bingo while pretending to fix the lawn mower. Meaning that I need to clean out the stale gas that I purposefully leave in the tank each fall so my wife will have to ask me to tinker with the mower every spring. Screwing around in the garden shed, pretending to do maintenance only a man is supposed to be capable of, is one of the many ruses that keeps me from having to do actual yard work. I love to watch a woman do yard work, what with the bending over in shorts and all.
At the same time there are less savory views from my shed. For instance, from here I can see through the shrubbery into the neighbors' yards. I can see Big Larry, sitting there on his back deck in his skivvies and flip-flops, fresh from the shower boring the wax out of his ear with what appears to be a house or car key, waiting for his wife Linda to yell: "Dammit Larry get in here put some clothes on! Do you know what you look like? Don't you ever think?"
Based on what Larry looks like, it's hard to imagine him ever having a thought in his life. And it's even harder to imagine anybody would care if he did. But there are folks who do. Two massive political parties fret endlessly over this portly "swing voter," in the belief that there is some internal logic to the way Larry's vote moves back and forth between the parties. If you ask Larry, he will say: "I vote the man, not the party." Which is an utter crock, because the truth is that Larry has no idea who he will vote for until he is inside the booth and is forced to pick. And then it usually comes down to which party was the loudest or the most fear mongering during the last five minutes before he went into the voting booth.
There is also a "betting on a winner" sports aesthetic that comes into play. But beyond that Larry and millions of voters like him pay no genuine attention to politics. Zilch. To quote Larry on the matter: "I don't really fucking care." And he will never care until he gets the impression that something, it varies from election to election, has gone waaaaaay too far and things are definitely going to hell in a way that he can see affecting him. Then politics will have his attention. For about one week in November.
From here in the shed it looks to me like it'll take years for the conditions to develop where Big Larry will really start caring. For now though, he's got plenty else to occupy his attention. There's that concrete patio to put down in his back yard -- baseball season just started -- and even with the building boom slowing, he's still getting 12 hours a week overtime driving a bucket truck for Toll Brothers. Between him and Linda, they are pulling down 70-K. And what with their second refi on the house (once more, to pay off credit cards) putting some dough in his mitts, he's shopping for a new truck. For the most part Big Larry is happy as a hog in slop, except when his back and 'roids act up up, and will remain so until something really big affects him directly -- until something clips him hard right smack in the kisser, like losing his job, or gas hitting five bucks a gallon or maybe Linda running off with some other man -- which ain't gonna happen because, well, it just ain't gonna happen, that's all. "She's as fat as I am god sake!" Who's gonna steal either one of them away from that $44,000 four bedroom money pit they purchased in 1990, now worth $350,000, on paper at least. Never happen.
Big Larry is not blind. He has noticed that some working folks like himself seem to be going tits up financially of late. Or is that just his paranoia? "Fug it. Just mind your own business, work hard and everything will be OK." As to the politics behind the looting of the economy, he doesn't have dog in that fight and doesn't want one. Like so many working class folks, he blows it off with a single worn out line: "They're all crooks." Torture in Iraq? "If it makes us safer, go for it! Have another beer." The most common citizens of the Empire -- and Larry sure as hell is common -- being smothered in the commodities and comforts of its far flung corporate and military domination, are always the last to care about the situation out there in the resource colonies.
Then too, same can be said of the middle class, regardless of party affiliation. The professional and semi-professional catering class, the one that juggles the nation's money, health and legal proceedings, and pretends to teach the X-Box generation "consumer mathematics" and higher science, are sitting right there in the sidelines with Big Larry morally, if not physically. Being better educated, they yap about politics more than Larry does. But the truth is that, like Larry, they see no dog of theirs in the fight because theirs is at the groomer for $70 a pop (Don't get any fancy notions, Bingo). Until there is something like, let's say, a military draft threatening the career paths of their precious little Camerons and Bices, and/or taxes gobble another twenty percent of their income in ways they can actually observe, they will continue to believe in their 401-Ks and that the two political parties represent a real choice at the ballot box.
Yet another part of the middle class, semi-professionals mostly, is clueless because they are too busy working themselves to death in cold fear of ending up competing with the mouthbreathers for a job at Wal-Mart. I met a guy ringing up groceries at the Food Lion the other day who used to be a social services administrator over in the next county. Assumedly the faith based initiatives around here, being guided by the hand of God, are doing a better job than he used to do. Still, it seems rather unfair that he would have to compete against God himself to keep track of WIC coupons and teen moms getting their GEDs. Guys like him know exactly what can happen to them in this new "ownership society," and they know that the game gets harder and harder if you want to keep on owning. They know, especially the semi-professional bean counters, how long a family survives trying to make a $2,200 house payment on a $1,600 monthly unemployment check.
So the true middle classers are afraid to do anything at all. Oh, they will vote, mostly according to their greed or self-delusions. They will vote Republican because it is clear the Republican Party will kick the living shit out of anybody who gets between them and a full a full tank of gas or a fast buck. Or they will vote Democratic, vote for the good cop in our good cop/bad cop political charade, and kid themselves that they've struck a meaningful progressive blow of some sort. Such are the times.
Meanwhile, there's ole Larry digging the wax out of his ear with no idea that the shape if not the fate of the nation may depend on whether he ever gets a clue. Look at the guy. What a slob.
A reader pointed out last week that there are an awful lot of slobs in my essays, and by god it does seem true, doesn't it? The reader, a Becky from Butte (which made me want to sing to myself, Sweet Becky from Butte, with her brother Clute -- possibly because I had a couple in me, went on to ask if I especially seek slobs out for some literary reason. After much contemplation I am, sorry to report that I do not. Apparently I am just surrounded by slobs, or at the very least, have an affinity for them, plus the stupidity to look into their souls seeking political truth of some sort about America. We all have our problems.
Maybe the biggest political problem we have is that most Americans think they know what is going on and that they have enough knowledge to cast a rational vote. Those people are also convinced that the effects of media are neutral and that they are actually thinking for themselves. They believe there is a difference between the two parties. And in all fairness, there is. Sort of. Despite the way both parties have gloried in America's post-war imperialist hard-on, treating the rest of the world like shit when it suits American corporate interests, there is a difference in the way the parties treat the American people.
The Democratic Party can be said to be better for America on the grounds of being less brutal, rather kinder to the rabble inside the walls of Rome. Democrats will engage in a knockdown drag-out fight to get dental crowns for illegal aliens in Buffalo, but they will never once consider challenging big oil or big pharm or big anything that might have a campaign buck stashed up its cuff. Still, disallowing that congenital American weakness for a buck and anything BIG-BIG-BIG!, and assuming Diebold and the Republican crime syndicate don't rig a third election (cough! cough!) getting these rich, deluded, self-important Democratic hacks back into office seems to be the only way we have of stalling off the specter of a totalist corporate state until we can mobilize or whatever the hell it is you do when fascism is on your front porch and leering through your window. The thought of a Hillary Clinton or Al Gore or John Kerry being my first line of defense against what people like Shotgun Cheney and that mad bitch Condy Rice want to do to my fat ass in this, the penniless prelude to my old age, is more than chilling.
Down the road 70 miles the road from this garden shed, over in Washington, DC, the Republican camp is starting to smell like a Texas whorehouse on dollar night. As I write this, Tom DeLay has resigned as House Majority Leader so he could devote more time to the conspiracy indictment smoldering in his lap. Department of Homeland Security Deputy Press Secretary Brian J. Doyle has been busted for cyberspace solicitation of a 14-year old girl.
Time does fly -- It seems like only yesterday the Department of Homeland Security announced Operation Predator, a cyberspace initiative to "identify children depicted in child pornography to help rescue them, and to assist in prosecuting the people responsible for making and distributing the pornographic material ..."
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is under investigation for crooked stock deals. Bush"s top procurement official has been busted for obstructing the investigation of lobbyist Jack Abramoff. And ole Scoots Libby says George Bush OK'd the felony security breaches and outright lies used to scare people like Big Larry into supporting our military attack on a sovereign nation led by some fucked up hairball who allegedly was going to come over here and kill us all with -- whoo-hoo! -- weapons of mass destruction. And as if the scene playing out for the administration couldn't get any riper, even the dark poisonous toad himself, Karl Rove may yet drop beneath the rising slime of the Plame affair. Nah, we would be almost disappointed if the Prince of Darkness proved a mere mortal. We like our bad guys to be so bad they are protected by Satan's gilded hand. Too many crap movies and video games will do that to you. At the same time, there is much dirty money on the Republican side of the aisle which nobody seems to know anything about. Republicans everywhere are swearing they were never, never, never "that kind of Republican," the kind of Republican who would accept campaign money without an overabundance of questions. Some are even giving back campaign money to the lobbyists with the most shit on their shoes, thereby demonstrating their involvement in the scams by public acts of contrived piety. It would be funny did it not expose what venal lizards crawl the republic's halls of governance.
Yes, things have been bad my friends and, much as I hate the cliché, things will probably get worse before they get better. Not since the Twenties have we seen such a reactionary syndicate grab national political power. And like their predecessors the neocons are hell bent to reverse every scrap of previous social progress, in this case since FDR's New Deal. Internationally they are aggressive evangelical paranoids steeled with Biblical justification for a policy of "Bomb Their Ass and Take Their Gas." An armed, petroleum addicted Jesus on steroids roughing up the world for gas money.
At the same time at least some Americans are finally shedding their illusions. We don't see that very often, but we have seen it occasionally: During the Sixties and Seventies we learned that a president who proclaims "I am not a crook," is probably just that. The Vietnam War taught most thinking people that American wars are noble wars merely because they are American. Also that the popularity of American wars, like that of sports teams, wears thin when we are not winning, causing people to start grumbling about the coach. The Iraq War is now unpopular with a majority and the president's numbers are so low pollsters are using a dip net to fish them out of the toilet. That it took over three years of getting our asses kicked by swarthy shoeless peasant stock armed with cheap cell phones and junk ordinance IEDs for the point to soak in that something just might be going wrong with the "mission accomplished" over there -- well, it says something about our lapdog media, or our Prozac addled brains, the contagion of national hubris or all three.
All of the above does not even begin to address the shadowy forces rustling in the background of our government, emerging occasionally to announce yet another chilling diminishment of our civil liberties, with almost no real objection. Most of America remains as clueless as Big Larry, believing that "It cannot happen here," even though they haven't the education or insight or attention span to grasp exactly what it is that can happen. Big Larry again: "What can't happen here?" I'm telling ya the guy has about two fingers of forehead.
People with more than two fingers of forehead, those who understand what can happen and obviously is happening, hope and pray the next election will begin to turn things around (which implies there are available candidates with the guts, wisdom and charisma to do so, but that's a whole nuther matter). At the same time they remain in deep denial of, or are simply too horrified by, what the rigging of two national elections by Republican operatives spells about our condition. It means that the way out of this escalating nightmare, the way back to something resembling freedom just might not be through the ballot box. And as long as the Democratic leadership is afraid to stand up and name the crimes and the criminals involved, the noodle-spined middle class will feel justified in its denial. And ole Larry will just stay out there on the back porch scratching his ass and thinking things are mostly OK. Just like tens of millions of his fellow Americans.
Anyway, the Democratic leadership believes it's too late to call bullshit on the crooked elections. I know because I get their newsletters. They keep me in the loop on these things. They also say Howard Dean is the new Newt Gingrich, only liberal. And yesterday I got one asking me what the Democratic Party should stand for. I've got plenty of ideas for sure, but I did not reply because, well, if Howard Dean and the most powerful Democrats in the nation have to ask me what the party of Franklin Roosevelt stands for, then we are in a heap of shit, dear hearts. A heap of shit.
I gotta go.

A Clockwork Orange(1971)Urban thugs run wild and new methods of crime deterrence are being explored. Career gang member Alex is nabbed by the police and offered the chance to a commuted sentence if he undergoes a kind of surgical therapy. One where his brain does not allow him to execute his violent urges. For more about A Clockwork Orange and the A Clockwork Orange Blu-ray release, see A Clockwork Orange Blu-ray Review published by Ben Williams on November 12, 2007 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Stanley Kubrick Writers: Stanley Kubrick, Anthony Burgess (I) Starring: Malcolm McDowell, Patrick Magee, Michael Bates (I), Adrienne Corri, Warren Clarke, Aubrey Morris » See full cast & crew A Clockwork Orange Blu-ray, Video QualityA Clockwork Orange is going to always be a controversial film in high definition circles for its very specific and rough visual style. The film came about at a time when Kubrick had started experimenting with higher speed film stock as well as custom lenses and cameras. His fascination for filming in available light also began at this time. Combining all of these methods doesn't exactly make for the smoothest and "prettiest" visual quality and that is definitely reflected in this Blu-ray presentation. The film is framed at 1.66:1, so you will experience black bars on the sides of your high definition image. This is intentional, so please don't adjust your set. I've seen complaints that this title doesn't offer an appreciable upgrade from the standard DVD versions that have been presented over the years. This couldn't be further from the truth. The film's vivid and stark colors are vastly improved over previous DVD versions and are now more nicely saturated and natural. The slow-motion high-speed photography that appears in several scenes is also much improved with an increase in clarity and stability. There is quite a lot of grain in the film, which is to be expected given the filming methods employed in A Clockwork Orange. I found that overall detail is improved with an emphasis on revealing more of the film's natural grain structure. A film like A Clockwork Orange isn't supposed to look like 2001. This is a work of art and the Blu-ray version captures it beautifully. Unfortunately, there are a few areas of concern in this transfer. I noticed several bits of what appeared to be macroblocking during the film. Banding also reared its ugly head on a few occasions as well. There's really no excuse for allowing these kinds of issues to crop up on a film of this level of importance. Perhaps a little more bandwidth could have been spared for the film to prevent these issues from cropping up. Regardless, this is still a nice transfer with plenty of merit. A Clockwork Orange Blu-ray, Audio QualityStanley Kubrick wasn't particularly fond of going to extremes in his sound mixes and often mixed in mono. A Clockwork Orange has been remixed into a fairly pleasing 5.1 Uncompressed PCM track. Surround usage is light and the entire track is heavily front-loaded. What is impressive about this mix is the nice boost in clarity presented in the PCM mix. Wendy Carlos' wonderful, electronic score has never sounded better and her use of the moog synthesizer is as clean and clear as I've ever heard it. Dialogue also fares well with a definitive lack of any hissing or dropouts. For a film as old and as limited in its sound design as A Clockwork Orange, I thought the PCM track was a very nice upgrade over previous versions. As long as you aren't looking for a hyped up, explosion-fest, A Clockwork Orange is very pleasing. I really don't know how the film could sound any better, all things considered.

Arnold Dodd: We understand the nature of your employment contract and the terms are acceptable to us.

Arnold Dodd: Yes. It's annoying to some people, I know. It's just that I"m not a very emotional man. It's a shortcoming.

No matter what Alvin, Theodore and Simon do, they're always bound to stir up trouble. In the first 'Alvin and the Chipmunks' movie, Alvin caused a blackout in Dave's kitchen; in the sequel (check that: "squeak-quel"), the boys end up wreaking havoc with a food processor; and in the upcoming 'Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked,' the trio -- along with their female counterparts, the Chippettes -- get stranded on a desert island. In this new exclusive trailer, the whole world is looking for Alvin and his friends. So what do a group of singing chipmunks do while they're waiting to be rescued? Perform pop songs, obviously.
You can watch it all go down in the trailer above. As a bonus, we've also embedded the exclusive full Chipmunks cover of 'Survivor' by Destiny's Child. You can rock out to that below.
'Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked' hits theaters on Dec. 16. The soundtrack, which includes 'Survivor,' is available Nov. 15.

If these chairs were going to be sat in everyday I'd be concerned about how long they would last... I have a feeling the cushioning will wear out quickly if used all the time. The chairs LOOK expensive though and give the room the boutiqe look I was going for.
I am amaze on how pretty the chairs are, I was scare that they were going to look too small or the color too bright, too yellow, but they are really gorgeous and classy. I've being talking about the chairs to everybody and about the price, nobody believes me. The quality of the chairs makes them look very expensive and they're not. I am really happy and pleased.
